“It is a matter of pride that Sabyasachi Mohapatra, Nilamadhab Panda and Ashutosh Pattnaik have won the National Film Awards for Odisha”, he said. Since Puri is my native place, I was well-aware of the folk tradition,” said Pattnaik.Ĭhief Minister congratulated the three awardees. I wanted to make a documentary on Ramleela but later realised that Sahi Jata of Puri needs spotlight. “Sahi Jata is one of the highlights of Puri which has a rich cultural tradition. It begins a day before the Rama Navami and the characters deliver dialogues and sing songs roaming around the seven Sahis of Puri. The 35-minute long film is a documentation of the centuries-old open-air theatre of Puri where artistes of different Sahis (lanes) depict the episodes of Ramayan. In the non-feature film category, Puri-based filmmaker Ashutosh Pattnaik’s ‘Srikshetra Ru Sahijata’ won the National Award in the Best Arts and Culture Film category. Similarly, Panda’s ‘Kalira Atita’ deals with the critical issue of climate change and revolves around a man - essayed by Pitobas - from Satabhaya village of Kendrapara that has been swallowed by the rising sea. Nilamadhabs Kalira Atita has received much accolades and the Odia. Mohapatra, who has previously won National Awards for his films ‘Aadim Vichar’ and ‘Pahada Ra Luha’, had released ‘Sala Budhar Badla’ in 2019 and the film showcases the culture of Western Odisha. The official nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards will be announced on Monday, Mar 15.
